4 Removal and replacement procedures
preliminary requirements
Tools required
You will need the following tools to complete the removal and replacement procedures:
● Flat-bladed screw driver
● Magnetic screw driver
● Phillips P0 and P1 screw drivers
Service considerations
The following sections include some of the considerations that you must keep in mind during disassembly
and assembly procedures.
NOTE: As you remove each subassembly from the computer, place the subassembly (and all accompanying
screws) away from the work area to prevent damage.
Plastic parts
CAUTION: Using excessive force during disassembly and reassembly can damage plastic parts. Use care
when handling the plastic parts. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the
maintenance instructions.
Cables must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Apply only the tension required to unseat or seat
the cables during removal and insertion. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid
bending, twisting, or tearing cables. Be sure that cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught
or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; these cables
tear easily.
Grounding guidelines
Electrostatic discharge damage
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Circuitry design and structure determine
the degree of sensitivity. Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many
cases, ESD contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or
microcircuitry. Even if the spark is neither felt nor heard, damage may have occurred.
An electronic device exposed to ESD may not be affected at all and can work perfectly throughout a normal
cycle. Or the device may function normally for a while, then degrade in the internal layers, reducing its
life expectancy.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the computer when you are removing or installing internal components,
observe these precautions:
Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are ready to install them.
Before touching an electronic component, discharge static electricity by using the guidelines described in this
section.
Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle electronic components as little as possible.
If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe container.
The following table shows how humidity affects the electrostatic voltage levels generated by
different activities.
Grounding guidelines 25
Typical electrostatic voltage levels
Relative humidity
Workstation guidelines
Grounding guidelines 27
Equipment guidelines
Grounding equipment must include either a wrist strap or a foot strap at a grounded workstation.
● When seated, wear a wrist strap connected to a grounded system. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a
minimum of one megohm ±10% resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear a strap
snugly against the skin at all times. On grounded mats with banana-plug connectors, use alligator clips
to connect a wrist strap.
● When standing, use foot straps and a grounded floor mat. Foot straps (heel, toe, or boot straps) can be
used at standing workstations and are compatible with most types of shoes or boots. On conductive
floors or dissipative floor mats, use foot straps on both feet with a minimum of one megohm resistance
between the operator and ground. To be effective, the conductive must be worn in contact with the skin.
The following grounding equipment is recommended to prevent electrostatic damage:
● Antistatic tape
● Antistatic smocks, aprons, and sleeve protectors
● Conductive bins and other assembly or soldering aids
● Nonconductive foam
● Conductive tabletop workstations with ground cords of one megohm resistance
● Static-dissipative tables or floor mats with hard ties to the ground
● Field service kits
● Static awareness labels
● Material-handling packages
● Nonconductive plastic bags, tubes, or boxes
● Metal tote boxes
● Electrostatic voltage levels and protective materials
The following table lists the shielding protection provided by antistatic bags and floor mats.
CAUTION: The Customer Self-Repair program is not available in all locations. Installing a part not supported
by the Customer Self-Repair program may void your warranty. Check your warranty to determine if Customer
Self-Repair is supported in your location.
NOTE: HP continually improves and changes product parts. For complete and current information on
supported parts for your computer, go to http://partsurfer.hp.com, select your country or region, and then
follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: Please read and follow the procedures described here to access and replace Customer Self-Repair
parts successfully.
NOTE: Details about your computer, including model, serial number, product key, and length of warranty,
are on the service tag at the bottom of your computer. See Illustrated parts catalog on page 16 for details.

The purpose of this document is to provide general information regarding non-volatile memory in industry-
standards based HP Business Notebook PC systems and provide general instructions for restoring nonvolatile
memory that can contain personal data after the system has been powered off and the hard drive has been
removed.
HP Business Notebook PC products that use Intel®-based or AMD®-based system boards contain volatile DDR
memory. The amount of nonvolatile memory present in the system depends upon the system configuration.
Intel-based and AMD-based system boards contain nonvolatile memory subcomponents as originally shipped
from HP assuming that no subsequent modifications have been made to the system and assuming that no
applications, features, or functionality have been added to or installed on the system.
Following system shutdown and removal of all power sources from an HP Business Notebook PC system,
personal data can remain on volatile system memory (DIMMs) for a finite period of time and will also remain
in nonvolatile memory. The steps below will remove personal data from the notebook PC, including the
nonvolatile memory found in Intel-based and AMD-based system boards. Some of these steps are disclosed
in the Maintenance & Service Guides available for HP PC products available on the product support pages at
www.hp.com.
1. Follow steps (a) through (I) below to restore the nonvolatile memory that can contain personal data.
Restoring or re-programming nonvolatile memory that does not store personal data is neither
necessary nor recommended.

e. If a DriveLock password is set, select the Security menu, scroll down to DriveLock, then select
DriveLock password. Select the desired hard drive. Click Disable protection, enter the existing
master DriveLock password, then press Enter to confirm and return to the prior menu. Repeat this
procedure if more than one hard drive has a DriveLock password.
f. If an Automatic DriveLock password is set, select the Security menu, scroll down to Automatic
DriveLock, then select the desired hard drive and disable protection. Repeat this procedure if more
than one hard drive has an Automatic DriveLock password.
g. Select the File menu, then Reset BIOS Security to factory default. Click yes at the warning
message.
h. Select the File menu, then Save Changes and Exit.
i. Reboot the system. If the system has a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and/or fingerprint sensor,
one or two prompts will appear. One to clear the TPM and the other to Reset Fingerprint Sensor;

If the HP notebook model number ends in a ‘p’ or ‘w’ and includes Intel® Centrino with VProTM,
reboot the PC and enter BIOS Setup by pressing F10 when prompted. Select System Configuration,
109
then AMT Options. Then select Un-configure AMT on next boot. Select Save then Yes. Select the
File menu, and then select Save Changes and Exit. Reboot the system and confirm that you want
to un-configure AMT.
j. If the optional Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (AT) was activated, contact the provider to de-activate
it.
k. If the optional Absolute® Software Computrace® management and tracking service was activated
on the notebook PC, contact the provider to deactivate it.
l. Remove all power and system batteries for at least 24 hours.
2. Remove and retain the storage drive or clear the contents of the drive.
a. Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Clear the HDD contents by using the HP Disk Sanitizer® utility or a third party application that,
ideally, is U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) 5220.22-M approved.
